Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a pendant inspired by ammonite fossils. I made it out of a sea snail shell and epoxy resin.
First of all I hot glued the shell on a base to keep it steady. I used a scrap piece from a woodturning project.
I then filled the shell with resin and de-gassed it in the vacuum chamber.
I tried turning it on the lathe but it was too hard to turn.
So I decided it to sand it as much as possible. Then I used a diamond disc on my rotary tool to cut off a slice. I used water to cool the piece down. I then choosed the most interesting piece.
I sanded from 100 to 320. Then I wet sanded from 400 to 1000. I polished it with my polishing pads and finally I buffed it.
I used my metal lathe to make a brass ring, I added a leather stripe and my pendant was ready. I think it came out really beautiful.
But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
